Packet Filter > Packet Filter Rules

Packet filters are used to set firewall rules which define what type of data traffic is allowed across the

RouteFinder's firewall. There are certain System Defined Rules that exist by default. In addition, you can

specify whether particular packets are to be forwarded through the RouteFinder system or filtered. These

rules are set with the help of network/host and service definitions that have already been set up in the

Networks section.

Screen Note:

• If the AP build is used, WLAN displays in the System defined rules.

Show Packet Filter Rules in Popup Window

Clicking this button opens up a new window that displays the RouteFinder’s live packet filter rules.

System Defined Rules

These rules define a set of common application services that are allowed outbound access through the

RouteFinder's WAN interface. The services that come under this definition FTP, TELNET, SMTP, DNS,

HTTP, POP3, IMAP, and HTTPS; they form the Default Outbound Service Group. The Default

Outbound Service Group is enabled by default.

Add User Defined Packet Filter Rules

New packet filter rules are created by choosing from four drop-down lists. All services, networks, and

groups previously defined in Networks and Services are available for selection.

Click Add to create the rule; it then displays at the bottom of the table. The new rule automatically

receives the next available number in the table. The overall effectiveness of the rule is decided by its

position in the table. You can move the new rule within the table with the Move function in the Command

column. You can also Edit and Delete rules.
